Fanning the Flames, Getting Pressed, Condi and More
By Bob Morrison
"Madness, Menopause and More," says the program notes, "was created from Debra Mims' personal experiences with life." Well, yes. But she has successfully universalized those experiences into vignettes of comic truth that all women (and most men) can appreciate and enjoy. It's at the Goethe Institute Mainstage at 812 7th Street N.W. with performances at 7 Saturday and 2:30 Sunday.
Her vivid red outfit matches the flamboyance of her personality as Mims launches into her recital of the mature woman's experience. She fires off one-liners about hot flashes early on, and milks mammograms for comedy (Call them Manograms--"that press MUST have been invented by a MAN.")
From memorable encounters with a hot comb to musings on Condi and blondes, Mims delivers.
If you're a short, white racist and sexist male boss you might pause before reserving your ticket. Otherwise, enjoy the show. For more photos from "Madness, Menopause and More," visit my Bonnie Briar Productions web site.
Cheers.

The performance was great. Even my critical husband loved it! Hope it stays around for a while. Every woman (and man) over 40 should see it.
